alt Hacker News> Had the US not used air conditioning so much we probably wouldn't have this heatwave right now.
Sure we would, since AC has nothing to do with it.

If we were more exposed to the hot weather with no way to escape it maybe we would actually do something about climate change.
By creating and artificial climate in all or our homes we are so disconnected from the world that we think technology will fix it.
Just wait fro the wildfires to blow up this week in the western US. AC will not help.

I don't know, for example... https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2024/08/28/air-conditionin...
But climate change is bullshit, right?
I think they’re arguing we’d be doing something about global warming instead of rage baiting each other from the comfort of our cool houses on social media while ignoring it, like we’re doing.
Well, not really ignoring it, more like making it worse while setting giant piles of bills on fire.
